Boutique Hotel Villa Vulin

On Pula’s sun-soaked coast, steps from the sea and tucked beside a pine forest, Boutique Hotel Villa Vulin is a five-star boutique hideaway. It’s a short drive to the Roman Forum and Pula Arena, and close to Gortanova Bay, Mornar and Valsaline beaches — perfect for quick city-and-sea escapes.

This intimate property bills itself as Croatia’s first five-star boutique hotel. Rooms and deluxe suites feel residential: private furnished balconies or terraces, living areas, minibars, satellite/flat-screen TVs, bidet-equipped bathrooms and bathrobes. With just six guestrooms, expect quiet, personalized service and sea-breeze mornings.

Take in views from the terrace and garden or relax by the lobby fireplace. Onsite extras include concierge and wedding services, a massage room, diving club access and even a bowling club. Free self-parking is available, and a roundtrip airport shuttle runs for a surcharge.

Complimentary wired and wireless high-speed internet keeps you connected. The hotel also offers complimentary newspapers in the lobby, dry cleaning/laundry services, private check-in/out and a safe-deposit box.

An on-site restaurant and a coffee shop/café serve meals and snacks. There’s a bar/lounge for evening drinks, limited-hour room service and a cooked-to-order breakfast served each morning (for a fee). Guests gather daily at a complimentary reception.
